Meet Chester Davis, one of New Jersey's Real Bearded Santas. In fact, there's an entire organization of them - the Amalgamated Order of Real Bearded Santas. It has membership dues, meetings and job listings. Chester is just one of many, but if you spend a day with him, you may start to believe he's the real one. (Video by Michael Monday/The Star-Ledger)

In New Jersey's long road to becoming a medical marijuana state, it turns out that passing the Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act was just the beginning. Two years later, the controversy has moved from the Statehouse in Trenton into the halls of municipal complexes, where approved medical marijuana treatment centers have encountered local resistance. On Thursday, the five-person township committee for the small, rural town of Upper Freehold, in Monmouth County, gathered at Stonebridge Middle School, in Allentown, to enact a local law that would effectively ban a proposed medical marijuana growing center in their town. The law, which passed unanimously, prevents local approval for any applications that explicitly violate federal law -- which, of course, includes growing marijuana. An overwhelming majority of residents who turned out for Thursday night's meeting were there to express, in no uncertain terms, their desire to see the proposed facility, Breakwater Alternative Treatment Center, run out of town.
